Xen seems to be working beautifully but I have not yet
figured out how to get Domain-0 to ping both Domain-1
and Domain-2, how to get Domain-1 to ping both
Domain-0 and Domain-2 and how to get Domain-2 to ping
both Domain-0 and Domain-1.

ifconfig eth0 reveals the following information...

Did you notice that both eth0 and xen-br0 have the
same IP address information?

If I try to ping 192.168.0.1 from Domain-1 or
Domain-2, it fails.

Domain-1 has an IP address for its eth0 of 192.168.0.2
and Domain-2 has an IP address for eth0 of 192.168.0.3
and if I try to ping 192.168.0.2 from Domain-2 or ping
192.168.0.3 from Domain-1, it also fails.

Finally, trying to ssh to 192.168.0.2 or 192.168.0.3
from Domain-0 fails. I am using Suse 9.3 and my guest
OSes are also Suse 9.3. Any help would be greatly
appreciated. I have never used bridge utils in Linux
before although I have use ip route and iptables
extensively. I have never used VLANs under Linux yet
either although I want to try that out eventually.

Thanks!
